The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

BTC/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that I a bearish bias below $6,620 but it looked increasingly likely that this support level would hold for a while. I was correct in anticipating that this level would have a pivotal presence, being strong enough to be felt without even being touched. The price is now consolidating and threatening to make some bullish movement. I would be more comfortable being long following a bullish bounce from this level which might happen today, but I would also still take a bearish bias were the price to get established below that level.
